Today
I am sorting everything out for my Knitted Birds & Nests Workshop
at the Ropewalk in Barton upon Humber on Saturday 20 October. It's
going to be great fun - we'll be knitting wire and woolly birds and
their homes. Here's a woolly one that Helen (who kindly agreed to be my
making tester on this one!) made recently - isn't he cute and doesn't
he look cosy!

Isn't there just something fundamentally wonderful about wooden cotton reels! I'm a bit of a collector. Don't get me wrong - I use the thread too, I don't just stare at it. But I do have a basket of wooden reels on my work bench at all times - very inspirational!

Wooden reels of thread

Anyone short of present ideas for me now knows what to look out for - no excuses!

Just to say thank you to everyone who came and supported Hippystitch and Nicola's Cards today. We had a fab time, caught up with lots of friends, ate cake and raised £70 for the NSPCC. Great stuff, folks!

Just finished setting up for our event tomorrow - not to mention baking cakes. So.. don't forget to join us from 9am to 4pm where we'll be selling lots of lovely things and providing tea and cake and supporting the NSPCC.

What could be better - cards, carefully crafted items and cake? Get over here tomorrow!

About Me

I create contemporary jewellery and textiles, making use of constructed fabric, buttons and other stuff too. And when I’m not doing that I’m probably yarnstorming, planning the next yarnstorming project or blogging about what I’ve seen, what I’m doing or what I’ve learnt.
